postman hands him card reader, he instantly asks where the settings are

This is awesome XD

"Bro this screen is too bright, is there a dark mode?"

every command he runs is an alias

Okay thats me. I love my aliases, I store them in separate files in ~/.config/fish/conf.d

I'm not getting it. I guess I don't interact with postmen enough, because I have no idea how a card reader is related to mail delivery.

Me neither, I sometimes have to sign on a device

Perhaps it's about payment-on-delivery.

Pretty usual in Slovakia, though you'll be generally charged some extra for not paying in advance. Usually something like €1.

Idk, but it could be because the payment of the delivery is done 'via surname' to the postman when the package is handed over. So the bank can't track on what you spend your money on (in case you are afraid they do). This option exists at least in Germany. However, it costs an high extra fee.

I dont think we do that in germany, shipping is always paid in advance

It's called "per Nachnahme", C.O.D. in English. You'd pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn't remember. Not used a lot any more these days.

In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it's 5 - 6€ extra, I don't know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.
